Chapter Three 'LEAH LEAH! We're here! We're here!' Krista excliaimed as she slapped me on the shoulder excitedly.
 'Krista, you're shaking!' I informed her.
 'DUH!' May butted in. I shot her a sarcastic look.
'Look, you guys, try to not to scream toooooo loud when th--' I started to say as we were seated comfortably in our
chairs, watching the opening band, 'Jacksone Fairfeild' walk off the stage. But it was too late for me to finish what I was
asking of them. Because Hanson walked right out. And they screamed. I slapped my hands over my ears! The shrieks
were too loud to bear! I looked up at the guys and noticed Zac. He was looking over my way and laughing and smiling.
Hmmm. Nah, he couldn't be looking at me. I decided.
 As the concert went on, the screams didn't die down. Of course everyone was standing and dancing and singing. Me
including. I just wasn't hysterically screaming! Finally they got to their last song, 'With You In Your Dreams'. Right at
the end, when the brothers were all harmonizing and it sounded beautiful, some girl right behind me screamed, 'I LOVE
YOU TAYLOR HANSON!' Really realllyyy loud. And of course, there was no sound but the guys, so EVERYONE
heard it! Taylor shot the girl a look like he was gonna kill her. Personally, I didnít blame him! - At the end of the song, a HUGE tall guy with a pass around his neck came up to us. 'You girls have backstage passes?'
He asked. We nodded and showed him our passes. 'Follow me.' He lead us around the stage and down some stairs. Then
he just left us standing in the middle of this hallway.
 'Uhhhh. Guys?' Krista asked.
'Yea?'
 'Is this some kind of joke?' She finished.
'Well I wou---'
 All of a sudden, Zac, Taylor, and Isaac came bursting out of the rooms in the hallway with cans of silly string. They ran
around screaming and spraying us.
 When they ran out of silly string, Zac reached his hand out to me and smiled. 'Nice to meet you.' He laughed.
 I couldn't answer him, I was laughing too hard. 'Hi....*laugh*....'
Finally, I stopped laughing. 'Hey, I'm Leah.' I said smiling, as I shook each one of their three hands. I just stood there,
smiling. Finally, my smile coudlnít hold anymore, I was waiting for my friends to introduce themselves, say something,
ANYTHING! They didn't they just just stood there gawking.
 I pointed to Krista. 'This is Krista. 'Hi..' She whispered.
'This is Angela.' I gestured towards her. She gave a faint little wave. I rolled my eyes. These guys were acting pathetic.
'And this, is May.' I didn't expect May to do what she did next. She opened her mouth. Yes! One of them is finally
going to say something! Well she sure did say something.
'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!' She screamed. Ike, Tay, and Zac
stepped back. I slapped my hands over my ears for the milllionth time that day. 'May, she uhh...really likes you guys.' I
said laughing.
 They laughed too. So we spent about an hour, talking. Well, I spent an hour talking. Taylor tried to talk to May, all
she said was. 'I love you.' Every time he asked her something. Ike tried talking to Angela, she did nothing but make
goo-goo eyes and nod. And well after those two, they didn't even try Krista. Me and Zac had a cool conversation
though. I felt like he was my best friend, in the whole world. And i'd only just met him an hour ago! I think he felt that
way too. Finally, a guy came in to tell us we had 5 more minutes with HANSON. So we got our stuff that we'd brought
to be autographed. I handed Taylor my Hanson scrapbook and he signed a picture of him. 'To Leah, a cool fan who
doesn't scream!' That made me laugh. Then Ike signed it. 'Leah: Thanx for coming, hope you enjoyed the concert. Oh
yea, Thanks for not freaking out too!' That also made me laugh. The guys were really nice, and funny. Unfortuntely, I
didn't get to read what Zac wrote because right after he finished and opened his mouth to say something, we were rushed
out by another big guy!
 We had to take a bus home, cause all of our parents had work. Walking back to my house together I asked, 'Hey
guys, let me read what they wrote on your stuff.' Krista, May and Angela handed me their autographed items. I read
Krista's, 'Krista, thankyou for coming, we're happy to have you as a fan.' That was what Ike wrote. Tay wrote,'
Krista, you're a great girl, keep on MMMBopping!' That was kinda cheesy, so I laughed. Then Zac's. 'To a cool fan,
you rock!-ZAC' Every single one said something along those lines. Except Mayís, Zac had written. 'May: DON'T
SCREAM SO MUCH!-ZAC' I burst out laughing. May grinned and took my scrap book, she opened it up and began to
read.
'LEAH' She screeched. 'Look..look what Zac wrote to you!' She was practically jumping up and down by now. I
grabbed the book, I'd forgotten that I hadn't gotten to read Zac's yet. 'Leah: To a very beautiful girl. You're
awesome!-ZAC'
 My face turned red. 'Oh my God.' I said quietly. I let Krista and Angela look. They were jealous, and they made it
known too. 'Well you guys, maybe it had something to do with the fact that I didn't go freaking and screaming and say
nothing but I love you! Or make goo-goo eyes all the time!' I suggested grinning. I looked from May, to Krista, then
Angela. They were all smiling now.
 'Well I couldnít help it!' May said laughing. Chapter Four
